Short Description of Recipient Organization:
Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is approximately 90 minutes from New York City at the site of the original 1969 Woodstock Festival in Bethel, NY. The 16,800-seat outdoor performing arts venue and the soon-to-be-opened Museum are set within nearly 2,000 bucolic acres. The main pavilion covers 4,800 seats with another 12,000 on a natural sloping lawn, while offering unique backdrops including the original festival site and the majesty of the surrounding Sullivan County countryside. Other venues at the center include a 1,000-seat roman-style outdoor amphitheater, craft and farmers' market and the original Woodstock site, which holds a permit for 30,000 concertgoers to attend major musical events. The arts center's purpose is to improve the quality of life in Sullivan County and the surrounding region by promoting economic development in an economically depressed area of NYS through arts, education, and culture at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
